To tell that boy the What's Ö (D)and what-nots
Someday soon he's gonna (D)bring her home
To sit on the swing with that (G)light bulb on
He'll reach in the pocket of his (A)old blue jeans

That's why God made a (G)front porch
And put a little creak in the (Bm)screen door
Something' 'bout the sound of a (G)G-chord
Foot tapping on a (A)loose board (Asus) (A)
Moon dancing behind the (G)willow tree
You can hear that bullfrog clear (Bm)across the creek
When that old house gets a (G)little worn (A)
That's why God made a (G)front porch

Put in a full day 'til (G)my back hurts
As fast as this world goes (A)around and 'round

And as my tires hit the (D)gravel drive
The summer sunís hangin' on (G)for dear life
As my little angel in her (A)sun dress
Sittin' cross legged, on the (D)wood steps
That's why God made a (G)front porch
And put a little creak in the (Bm)screen door
Something' 'bout the sound of a (G)G-chord
Foot tapping on a (A)loose board (Asus) (A)
Wind chimes jangle in the (G)evening breeze
You can hear that bullfrog clear (Bm)across the creek
A peaceful rainfall follows a (G)thunderstorm (A)
That's why God made a (G)front porch (D)
Full moon dancing behind the (G)willow tree
You can hear that bullfrog clear (Bm)across the creek
When that old house gets a (G)little worn (A)
That's why God made a (G)front porch (D)
